Residents Invited to Celebrate at September 26th “Think Pink” Event

Miramonte Resort & Spa is proud to announce a partnership with Desert Cancer Foundation in support of October’s breast cancer awareness month – to support, celebrate and remember those affected by cancer. On Thursday, September 26th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, the evening begins with welcoming comments and a fountain commemoration, followed by live music, specialty pink cocktails, and more.

“Think Pink” is the resort’s theme featuring month long pink specials from THE WELL Spa to the Vineyard Lounge, created to involve the local Valley community and hotel guests to actively participate in this annual national health campaign. Proceeds are given to the Desert Cancer Foundation to provide financial assistance for Coachella Valley residents who cannot afford treatment.

“Drink Pink” in the Vineyard Lounge features festive pink cocktails, where guests can raise a glass to a loved one in their honor or join in good cheer for a good cause. In addition, every Thursday evening “The Songbird” soul singer Gina Carey performs. Gina will donate $5 per CD sale of her new release “Funk, Rhythm & Soul.”

“In the Pink” at THE WELL Spa places guests into a serene atmosphere with luxurious treatments. Designed to renew and reconnect the body at a core level, this award-winning spa employs ancient techniques, tools and ingredients that have long been recognized to bring the body into balance. The exclusive selection of “Think Pink” spa treatments are:

o Think Pink Back Neck & Shoulders Massage $60 – 25-min
o Think Pink Manicure $30 – 30-min
o Think Pink Pedicure $50 – 45-min
o Think Pink Mani/Pedi $75 – 75-min
o Think Pink Hydrotherapy Bath $15 – 15-min

Proceeds will be generated for the entire month of October. Donations in tribute of a loved one – honoring those we remember, and celebrating survivors – are also accepted at the resort’s main front desk.

In addition, Miramonte Resort & Spa supports the Desert Cancer Foundation’s 7th Annual Paint El Paseo Pink Walk on October 12. Information will be available at this event on the 26th, detailing the engaging activities and fun walk on the Rodeo Drive of Palm Desert.

“Pinking Ahead” Miramonte Resort & Spa continues the partnership with Desert Cancer Foundation with the annual holiday Gingerbread Village. “Lot” sales go on sale the night of this event, through November 25th, with a grand unveiling of the Village the day after Thanksgiving.
